Looks pretty darn awesome. I like how you incorporated last year's robot into the video - it was one of my favorites to watch. See you at Central Washington!

Nice reveal! Your robot last year was one of my favorites- and I can already tell that this year won't be any different. As for suggestions for names... I'll put my two cents in with Orbit. Good luck this year!

Looking nice. You guys should name your robot Avalanche to keep with the natral disaster theme that Wildfire had.

Good looking robot guys, 40 seconds for a 6-stack is speedy!

See you at DCMP

Love your DNA your robots look like siblings.

On the 2015 that's VERY efficient movement to create a tote stack...and conveyor load brilliant

Awesome all around!

Glad you are not in our regional.

STRIKING looking robot, as always! As for name suggestions, as stated before, I like the idea of a natural disaster name. Perhaps something to do with storms?

Anyway, I hope to see you at regionals!

We finally got around to naming the robot. Our competition bot for this year is Solar Flare. :D

Epic job, guys! I still can't believe you're only a 3 year team. Phenomenal. Hopefully, we'll get the chance to share the field again at championships. Best of luck on the season!

That's a good name. This is definitely one of my favorite bots already.

We appreciate all the suggestions we got for names! The team loved the idea of a natural disaster theme and a huge list was put together (with potential names for years to come). Solar Flare managed to beat out popular names like Zesty Beast and Zoidberg (why not?). Thanks again and we look forward to seeing everyone at competition!

Edit: I felt I should explain the Zesty Beast name. We use lemon scented Pledge on our robot to keep the ramp clean, slippery, and fresh. :)

We've used turtle wax for the last two years to make nice things slide. :rolleyes:

I'd much prefer lemon scent. ;)
